Chapter 207 Dialogue
Although Kallen’s disruption did cause some mistakes in the exhibition, and she almost stole the important exhibit Flying Stone, in the end everything was completed according to Purficott’s expectations. solution.
She caught the thief and announced the existence of the Flying Stone to the world.
After airships sent humans into the sky, another invention that allowed people to fly was also born in the hands of Purficott. Some people have begun to use the title of the mother of human flight. imposed on her.
Many local newspapers in Xinshang City were invited to participate in this exhibition, and naturally they also announced the flying stones to the outside world.
Not only that, they also connected the Phantom Thieves with the Flying Stone in an exaggerated manner, adding a lot of conjectures and writing a short story, insinuating that Kallen knew the existence of the Flying Stone in advance and came to steal it.
They also made up many outrageous stories about Kallen’s identity. For example, some said she was a grand thief who robbed the rich and gave to the poor, others said she was a treasure hunter who specialized in stealing treasures, and there were even rumors that she was Sent by the enemy...
Although compared to the no-limit tabloid media in the original world before Perficott traveled through, the imagination of the news media in this world is not that rich, at least they don’t A story about the love-hate relationship between Purficott and Kallen was created.
But even so, this matter still attracted widespread attention, and the news was immediately spread back to the old world, and was immediately reprinted by many newspapers in various countries.
Although the news was distorted in the end, the invention of the flying stone has been known to all countries in the old world.
Naturally, Langton sent an urgent call asking about the Flying Stone. In response, Purficott simply stated that the Flying Stone was not yet of mass production and practical value, and emphasized that sages were needed to make the Flying Stone. stone, thus blocking the mouth of the military.
Because the Navy had already learned about the Flying Stone in advance, even though it was only a few days ago, it had already regarded the Flying Stone as a forbidden item for the Navy.
After all, the emergence of flying stones also means the emergence of flying battleships. Their navy will eventually fly into the sky!
However, these things are considered to be subsequent events. Purficott has no intention to think about those things now, but has to deal with the matters in front of him first.
After sending all the reporters away and dealing with a wave of so-called celebrities from the New World, she came to a hotel room to see the prisoners she had captured.
Purficott didn't do anything to Kallen, he just confiscated all the alchemy items from her, and after asking a doctor to treat her gunshot wound on her leg, he placed her under house arrest in the room and sent two Guarded by a maid puppet and a steam knight.
In fact, Purficott was not worried about Kallen running away. She still did not escape the drink prepared by Claudia. It was given to her as an anesthetic for the operation, and the effect was immediate. .
Until Purficott finished handling the matters at hand and came to the room, Kallen was still asleep.
"Wake her up, I have something I want to talk to her about." Purficott ordered Claudia beside him.
Claudia nodded, then came to the sleeping Kallen, passed a small bottle under her nose, and Kallen suddenly woke up.
"This place... stinks so bad!" Kallen quickly woke up from the bed. She quickly wanted to get up, but the pain in her legs made it impossible for her to use her legs. She could only groan. He gritted his teeth and looked at Perfectcott who had already sat down in the room. "You were shot twice in the leg. Although I asked the doctor to remove the bullet for you, it will take some time for the wound to heal." Purficott waved his hand to signal Claudia to step back before continuing to speak to Karen. : "During this period, the wound on your leg will prevent you from jumping up and down, so just rest and recover first. I won't do anything to you."
Karen Looking at Purfict, there were only her and Purfict in the room at this time, as well as the two maids standing next to Purfict.
Such an environment made Kallen lower her guard somewhat, but she still felt insecure in the face of such an environment.
"Where am I?" Although Kallen was asking this question, in fact her eyes were scanning around quickly, hoping to find something useful.
"There's no need to look for it. I've already helped you unload all the alchemy items on your body. As for this room?" Purficott raised his hand and said with a casual smile: "It's the room you booked before. All your things are still here, but I asked the maid to clean them up to make sure there are no dangerous items left that would cause trouble to me."
"What could cause trouble to you?" Lian's words were inevitably laced with sarcasm.
"If you want to say this, are you talking about the aristocrats and bureaucrats who are just eating nothing, and the capitalists who are knocking their bones and sucking out their marrow? These guys can be said to be a problem for what I want to do." Purficott naturally pretended. Tsukuru didn't understand the meaning of Karen's words, or maybe she was sending some information to Karen: "Of course, if you want to say that, the independence activists who started the riots at this point in time can also cause me harm. Within the scope of trouble. "
Kalen is not an intelligent character. Her mentor once commented that her body is one step ahead of her brain, but this does not mean that Kallen is stupid.
If she was really stupid, she wouldn't be able to become a transcendent at this age. She would still be a thief who really needs her brain.
"You said at this point in time...what are you, or the empire, planning?" Kallen looked at Purficott and keenly grasped the key to her words.
"My senses are very keen, but this is the empire's top secret. If you find out, I will have to get rid of you here." Purficott still sat with a smile on his face. There, but the feeling she gave Karen was that she would do what she said.
Karen looked at Purfict, with a trace of hesitation and hesitation in her eyes, but then she was driven by an inexplicable sense of justice and curiosity, which made her insist on asking Purfict. Said: "I insist, even if I die, I hope to die clearly."
Hearing this, Perfectcott shook his head helplessly, and then replied in a helpless tone. : "Hey, why bother? Isn't it good to live?"
"There are always some things that are more important than life. I firmly believe this!" Kallen's eyes were very firm, revealing a sense of inadequacy. The momentum of never giving up.
Purficott glanced at her with admiration, and then said: "The world is about to be destroyed."
